Edgewater
Networks, the leader in Network Edge Orchestration, today announced
that it has certified its line of EdgeMarc 2900 Intelligent Edges
with the Dolby®
Conference Phone in its QuickConnect
Interoperability Lab. Edgewater Networks certification included the
Dolby Conference Phones and Edgewater Networks' EdgeMarc 2900
Intelligent Edges in a BroadSoft (News - Alert) environment. The results are documented
in a standard configuration guide for easy deployment and integration.
The certification covers both hosted and SIP Trunking deployment

"The Dolby Conference Phone makes conversations more natural by enabling
meeting participants to communicate the way they do when they're in the
same room. Demand for this type of communication by companies of all
sizes has been expanding rapidly for the last several years, and we
expect that trend to continue," said Jeff Smith, Senior Director of
Product, Communications Business Group, at Dolby Laboratories (News - Alert). "Service
providers deploying the QuickConnect-certified Dolby Conference Phone
with Edgewater Networks' EdgeMarc 2900 Intelligent Edges can experience
seamless installations at customer sites wih opportunities to reduce
OPEX (News - Alert) while simultaneously realizing optimized voice quality through the
central and proactive management of all endpoints."

Edgewater Networks' (News - Alert) Network
Edge Orchestration platform includes the cloud-based EdgeView
Service Control Center and customer premises-based EdgeMarc
Intelligent Edges. Network Edge Orchestration offers a host of
functionality and benefits including Zero Touch Provisioning and
configuration, security, and active service management. Endpoints, such
as the Dolby Conference Phone are connected directly to the EdgeMarc
Intelligent Edges, giving service providers the ability to remotely
monitor, configure, and troubleshoot all endpoints through the EdgeView
Service Control Center.

The Dolby Conference Phone delivers impressive flexibility for great
sound from huddle rooms to conference rooms to boardrooms in a
streamlined, easy-to-use design. And when combined with a Dolby Voice®
enabled service, it gives you even better audio, with more nuance and
with voice placement that presents each speaker's voice from a distinct
location to make it easier to follow the conversation.

"Edgewater Networks is excited to include Dolby as a technology partner
and validate interoperability in our QuickConnect Lab," said Jennifer
Kidd, VP of Business Development at Edgewater Networks. "Using our
combined platforms for the delivery of voice services enables service
providers and customers to optimize the overall UC user experience from
initial installation to ongoing technical support."
